Immune dysfunction plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and progression of severe viral pneumonia.Both hyperactivated immune responses and immunosuppressive states may adversely affect clinical outcomes.Glucocorticoids,widely utilized as immunomodulatory agents,hold significant therapeutic value in managing this condition.Elucidating the intricate mechanisms underlying immune dysregulation in these patients,accurately assessing individualized immune profiles,and optimizing glucocorticoid regimens alongside other immunomodulatory interventions are critical to improving clini-cal success rates.This review synthesized current progress in research on immune disorders and glu-cocorticoid therapy in severe viral pneumonia,providing theoretical foundations for clinical practice to enhance patient prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a mouse model bearing orthotopic temozolomide (TMZ)-resistant glioma that mimics the development of drug resistance in gliomas METHODS: Seventy-eight adult C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups ( RESULTS: The mouse models bearing TMZresistant glioma was successfully established. The cells from the high-dose induced group showed a significantly higher colony-forming rate than those from the high-dose control group ( CONCLUSIONS Progressive increase of TMZ doses in mice bearing orthotopic gliomas can effectively induce TMZ resistance of the gliomas.

OBJECTIVE: To study the relevant information on the label of health food in Changsha, and provide scientific evidence for health food hygienic supervision. METHODS: Investigation was conducted in department stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, and wholesale markets in the 5 districts in Changsha with multistage stratified sampling method. Self designed basic information of health food questionnaire was used to investigate the quality of labels the health food products. RESULTS: Among the 408 random samples, the unidentified rates of label items were ranked in descending order: functional components (49.8%), unsuited community (27.9%), manufacturing date (23.0%), approval number and others (9.6%). The qualified rates of labels were different in different management types (χ(2)=59.793, P<0.05): the highest rate was in supermarkets (71.15%), followed by pharmacies (70.07%), shopping malls (57.47%), and wholesale markets (26.23%). CONCLUSION The supervision of label identities of health food should be strengthened, especially for the health food in the wholesale markets.
